An athlete consumes large amounts of meat in an effort to build extra muscle tissue. Identify the correct statement about the effect of excess consumption of meat.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an athlete consumes more protein than the body needs for tissue repair and growth, the excess amino acids are not stored as protein. Instead, they are converted into glucose for energy or transformed into fatty acids and stored as fat. This process does not directly lead to rapid muscle growth, dismantle tissue proteins, cause muscle breakdown, or lack energy for muscle growth as implied by the other options.
